These include the development and maintenance of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consistent with these standards; the determination of physical constants and properties of materials; the development of methods and instruments for testing materials, devices, and structures; advisory services to government agencies on scien- tific and technical problems; invention and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government; and the development of standard practices, codes, and specifications. The work includes basic and applied research, development, engineering, instrumentation, testing, evaluation, calibration services, and various consultation and information services. Research projects are also performed for other government agencies when the work relates to and supplements the basic program of the Bureau or when the Bureau's unique competence is required. The scope of activities is suggested by the listing of divisions and sections on the inside of the back cover. Publications The results of the Bureau's research are published either in the Bureau's own series of publications or in the journals of professional and scientific societies. The Bureau itself publishes three periodicals available from the Government Printing Office: The Journal of Research, published in four separate sections, presents complete scientific and technical papers; the Technical News Bulletin presents summary and preliminary reports on work in progress; and Basic Radio Propagation Predictions provides data for determining the best frequencies to use for radio communications throughout the world.

  • Evaluation of Aqueous Systems
    268 Lithium Iodate COMPONENTS: EVALUATOR: H. Miyamoto (1) Lithium Iodate; LiI03; [13765-03-2] Niigata University Niigata, Japan (2) Water; H20; [7732-18-5] and M. Salomon US Army ET & DL Fort Monmouth, NJ, USA February, 1986 CRITICAL EVALUATION: THE BINARY SYSTEM Solubility data for LiI03 in water have been reported in 37 publications (1-34, 44-46). At 298.2 K Shklovskaya et al. (5,7,8,11,14-20,22,23,25,27,28,44) reported the identical solubility of 43.82 mass %, and although the work spans a period of 10 years (1974-1983), it is not possible to determine the number of independent measurements in these 18 publi­ cations. The solubility of 43.30 mass % at 298.2 K reported in (24) is distinctly lower than all other findings and is therefore rejected. Unezawa et al. (33) reported the solubility to be about 76 g/lOO g H20 (43.2 mass %) over the temperature range of 278-343 K, and although this is an interesting result its qualitative nature led us to conclude that it should not be compiled. However the importance of this paper is that the authors identified the stable solid phase at room temperature as hexagonal LiI03 (i.e. the a-phase) which is consistent with other quantitative data as discussed below. A graphical summary of the solubility of LiI03 in water is given in the polytherm figure below. In all cases the equilibrated solid phase is the anhydrous salt. 370 350 330 T/K 310 290 270-I------.r-----.-----..----......----------. 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 mass % Figure 1.

Gschneidner, Jr. and LeRoy Eyring ISBN: 978-0-444-87045-2 by kmno4 Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths, edited by K.A. Gschneidner, Jr. and L. Eyring © Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1987 PREFACE Karl A. GSCHNEIDNER, Jr., and LeRoy EYRING o These elements perplex us in our rearches [sic], baffle us in our speculations, and haunt us in our very dreams. They stretch like an unknown sea before us- mocking, mystifying, and murmuring strange revelations and possibilities. Sir William Crookes (February 16, 1887) There are those who feel that the rare earth elements are destined to play an even greater role in our "high-tech" society in the future than they have in the past. This judgement is based upon the trend of increasing applications resulting from the electronic structures of these materials that lead to their unusual optical, magnetic, electrical and chemical properties so adaptable to the demands now being placed on materials. The "Handbook" seeks to provide topical reviews and compilations of critically reviewed data to aid in the design and fabrication of the required new materials. Four additional chapters in this tradition are the contents of this volume. The development of lasers containing rare earth species sparked an interest in glasses containing these elements. Reisfeld and J0rgensen discuss excited-state phenomena in vitreous rare-earth-containing substances. The description of the chemistry and crystal chemistry of complex inorganic compounds of the rare earths is continued by Niinist6 and Leskelfi from the previous volume.

  • Generation of Green Second Harmonic Radiation in LBO, Bibo, KTP, And
    Generation of green second harmonic radiation in LBO, BiBO, KTP, and PPLN crystals using passively Q-switched sub-nanosecond microchip laser by Kostyantyn Sukhoy A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada Copyright © 2011 by Kostyantyn Sukhoy Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is not a finalized copy of my thesis. This is a nearly finalized draft of my thesis submitted to my examining committee for their consideration. I understand that an electronic copy of the finalized draft of my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. II Abstract A sub-nanosecond green laser source has big demand in such fields like spectroscopy, micromachining, fluorescence imaging, and laser displays. Most often green light is produced by frequency doubling of pulsed laser sources based on Nd3+-ion or Yb3+-ion doped gain media that oscillate in the near-IR range. For creating compact and relatively small source of green light suitable for broad type of applications a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser (Teem Photonics) operating at 1064 nm with 6.9 kHz repetition rate was chosen. It delivers 560 ps long pulses with 10 µJ energy, corresponding to an average output power of 69 mW. Crystals of BiBO, KTP, LBO, and PPLN were chosen for frequency doubling. Main goal of this work was to study the characteristics of these crystals under similar experimental conditions and to select the most efficient one for this task.

  • A Contribution to the Development of Wide Band-Gap Nonlinear Optical and Laser Materials
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jennifer L. Stone-Sundberg for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presented on December 3, 2001. Title: A Contribution to the Development of Wide Band-Gap Nonlinear Optical and Laser Materials Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Douglas A. Keszler The primary focus of this work is on examining structure-property relationships of interest for high-power nonlinear optical and laser crystals. An intuitive and simply illustrated method for assessing the nonlinear optical potentialofstructurallycharacterizednoncentrosymmetricmaterialsis introduced.This method is applied to materials including common quartz and tourmaline and then extended to synthetic materials including borates, silicates, aluminates, and phosphates. Particularly,the contributions of symmetric tetrahedral and triangular anionic groups are inspected.It is shown that both types of groups significantly contribute to the optical frequency converting abilities of noncentrosymmetric crystals.In this study, several known materials are included as well as several new materials.The roles of the orientation, composition, and packing density of these anionic groups are also discussed. The structures and optical properties of the known materials BPO4, NaAlO2, LaCa4O(B03)3, and tourmaline; the new compounds Lao.8Y0.2Sc3(B03)4 and Ba2B10O17; and the laser host Sr3Y075Yb025(B03)3 are described.
